THURSDAY, JULY 8, 1948 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAGE ELEVEN - Was A Reporter To Earn Money For raduate Studies By REGINALD HARDY Citizen Parliamentary Writer "The Pen Is Mightier Than The Sword", The late Hector Charlesworth in his "More Candid Chronicles" throws a revealing light on the am- bitious, hard-working King of those early college years. "On graduation," says Charles- worth, "young Mr. King took to journalism, and I knew him as a colleague in the late nineties. His aim, however, lay in the direction of [becoming a professor of the then novel subject of social science. His entry into journalism he regarded as but a stepping stone to that end, and he served as a reporter on the Globe and also the Mai] and Em- pire in order to obtain funds for post-graduate work at Harvard and elsewhere, In reality journalism proved a good staff to aid his ad- vancement." I don't think King ever regarded imself as having been a star re- porter. As a matter of fact he used to become so engrossed in' the so- ial welfare angle of police court ca- ses he was sent to cover that he would often forget that the city edi. tor was waiting for copy and fail to show up in time to get his story into the paper. * + * I think the most priceless story told about King's newspaper re- porting days is one told by W. A. Hewitt, of Toronto, former sports editor of the Toronto Star and fa- ther of the famous sports announ- er, Foster Hewitt. "Bill" Hewitt was a copy boy on e old Toronto News when King was attached to that newspaper for brief period, One afternoon when news was slack the city editor and number of the staff left young itt "in charge" while they went ind the corner for a glass of beer at the Bay Tree Inn. "You're in harge, Bill," said the Editor, "see hat you look after things. And oh, yes, if that fellow King shows up tell him I said he's fired." Young Hewitt, felling pretty im- portant, moved over to the city edi- or's desk and tried to look the part. few minutes later, sure enough, young King entered the office and vent up to the city editor's desk. "Where's the city editor?" asked King. "He's out," said young Hewitt. "He left me a message for you." "Out, eh?" said King, apparently not interested in the message, "Well, en he gets back you can tell him 'm resigning. I've just decided I'm editorial writer, not a reporter!" IZing walked out, and to this Hew. tt could kick himself for losing his big chance--the opportunity he had o fire Canada's future prime min- ter. * + & King was always a smart debater nd even in his college days he had nice flair for estimating public ppinion. Even in college, he and Ar- ur Meighen crossed swords and a lagsic example of this occurred vhén both of them competed for the position of president of the Debat- ng and Literary Society of the Un- ersity. Meighen, a rough country lad, owed up for the debate in a patch. pd pair of trousers. He addressed the Bociety on the subject of low wages being paid in industry and spoke oquently and with some feeling. Young King then took the plat- orm, the epitome of elegance in ptriped trousers cutaway coat. But he chose no high ground for his ad- ress. He made three separate ap- || peals to his audience, each one deal- ng with a matter of vital import- nce to the students. One--the prov- ncial government should not be per- mitted to encroach upon the college mpus for the purpose of erecting provincial legislature. Two--cusia- ons should be provided for all class- oom seats so that the students d sit comfortably. Three--free es should be served to all stu. ents. King won in a walk. BoB To get back for a mcment to King's newspaper associations, F. A. Ackland, who as city editor of the Toronto Globe had been King's chief for a considerable period, later became editor of the Labor Gazette under King and subsequently King's Printer, Up in Toronto recently I took a cab and went down to the old King home at 147 Beverley street, once a fashionable section of the city. I found that the King home was now a boarding house and that previous- ly for some years it had been oper- ated as a restaurant, A young woman in a greasy dress- ing gown who answered the door had never heard that the place had once been the. home of Canada's prime minister. Nor, likewise, had the 80-year-old woman who existed on her old-age pension in the "se- cond floor front" ever dreamt that W. L. Mackenzie King had once been an occupant of her room. | Over the years the Beverley street | district had slowly taken on the run- down appearance of most old resi- dential districts that one day find themselves in the center of a large industrial city. The fine old homes are now all boarding houses or have been turned into commercial estab- | lishments with false fronts to hide their once domestic appearance. LR BR I found the house at No. 4 Grange Road, where the Kings had later resided for many years, also considerably changed. Following the death of King's father in 1916, Mrs. King left' this house and came to live with King in Ottawa.

In passing, I might say that when | 1 made some inquiries in connéction ! with the old Bond Street house in | whic William Lyon Mackenzie liv ed from 1859 until his death in 1861 I learned that it had disappeared. In 1934 the old house, which had been presented to William Lyon | Mackenzie by his friends and sup- porters, had been set aside as an historical site. . But apparently it had interfered witix the onward march of commer- clal progress. I found that it had been torn down to make the site available for commercial construc- tion.
